Amputee Coalition of America, Inc.

So Every BODY Can Move is a grassroots movement led by people with disabilities and allies to champion the transformative power of movement as medicine. In the U.S., insurance companies routinely deny access to essential prostheses and orthoses for physical activity, dismissing them as 'not medically necessary.' This denial limits freedom and hinders well-being.

We are tackling this healthcare inequity head-on by mobilizing grassroots advocates who are passionate about driving legislative change, state by state. Our goal? To ensure that everyone has the right to move freely.

100% of your donations fuel So Every BODY Can Move’s national disability rights movement. Our aim is to secure equitable and life-changing access to prosthetic and orthotic care for physical activity across 28 states by the LA 2028 Paralympics, setting the stage for national reform.

While your contributions are made in support of So Every BODY Can Move, they are received by the Amputee Coalition, our trusted fiscal sponsor.

This strategic partnership ensures that 100% of funds donated through this campaign are allocated directly to benefit So Every BODY Can Move's mission, thanks to the Coalition's established administrative capabilities and nonprofit status.

The Amputee Coalition serves as the backbone organization for So Every BODY Can Move, managing your donations as donor-designated funds. All contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law, as the Amputee Coalition is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit organization, EIN: 52-1701146

Join me in making a difference.

My name is John Register and I am an amputee and former Acting CEO of the Amputee Coalition. As someone who has experienced the challenges and obstacles that come with limb loss, I am passionate about advocating for and supporting the amputee community.

On my birthday this year, which is the 29th year of my amputation, I ask for your help in raising funds for the Amputee Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of amputees and their families.

Why is this cause so important to me? As an athlete, I lost my leg to a tragic accident, which ended my dreams of becoming an Olympic hurdler. But I didn't let my disability define me. Instead, I used my experience to become a world champion Paralympian and a motivational speaker, helping others overcome their own obstacles.

The Amputee Coalition plays a vital role in providing resources, education, and advocacy for amputees across the country. They offer peer support programs, educational resources, and help with navigating the complex healthcare system. Their work is especially important as we continue to face the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Your donation will help the Amputee Coalition continue its important work and support those who need it the most. Your gift will go towards funding their programs, education efforts, and advocacy work.

I am asking you to join me in supporting this important cause. Let's make a difference in the lives of amputees and their families. Together, we can make a positive impact and help those who need it the most.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Sincerely,

John Register
